I love this action scene! It reminds me very much of the better class graphic novels that have close-up freeze-frames of the movement, like the frame of Selkie’s shoes. And I love how her hair fluffs up in 3rd panel. And the last 3 frames combined in a picture of Selkie, the ball and Tony, bring to mind some “vs.” movie posters. Well done all around! 😀

Wow, there’s a lot of balls in this match… Consider that for every ball in the panel, there’s likely another in a kid’s hands as they aquire a target, and another that’s bouncing around after having missed/hit it’s target…

I think any price for those shoes would be worth it, just to see that smile full of joy.

Makes me wonder if the economy turns around, and I get my own place, if I should adopt an orphan. Then reality comes falling down and I realize I would never get approved to adopt anybody. Before people ask it is a reasonable reason, I have schizo-affective(schizophrenia accompanied be mood disorders).

I really hope that Selkie ends up kicking the ball HARD and that it smacks Tony in his most sensitive parts, and maybe have him get a bloody nose from another flying ball as well. Also there was definitely some amazing fanart up there.

The “he only does it because he likes you” was used to explain away 3 years of torture at school in my case. I tend to react violently to that suggestion.

…mind you, I eventually reacted violently to him too, hitting him on the head with a frying pan. (He got away without concussion and I got away with it because the teacher didn’t see and the rest of the class knew he deserved it.) 😛

Far as I’m concerned, your reactions and replies are just as poisonous.

Thank you for assuming I’ve never had to deal with being tomented by a bully and can not make a fair judgment call on the fictional behaviors of a web comic child character and bullying me in to submision to your views.

That would be why I added the “or maybe he hates her” at the end seeing as I’ve had both happen to me growing up in all stages of school life with one ending only after I slammed said boy into a wall and other times ending in similar violent reactions.
Seeing as I also went through high school with a bunch of boys making cruel and sexual harassing remarks and behaviors that nobody in authority- including my family- did anything about because the boys were black and I was not and I had to deal with it and get them to stop by myself without violence.
Please do not assume that just because a person says things that you assume a certain way you can assume they are one of those non-violent white lighters that never bothered to live in the real world where nothing bad happens to them. I’ve had plenty of shit happen to myself and others around me to make a far judgment call on the fictional behaviors of a web comic child character.

I love the first three panels. The sudden, light-footed “boing!”, not quite sure she can do it. Landing, sure-footed. Jumping again, suddenly no longer walking on knives (…I SEE WAT U DO THERE!), smiling… That. Just. Rocks.
